Listing Ships From: Oxford, United Kingdom After rocking the local Oxford scene with their nautically themed post rock instrumentals Listing Ships , have set sail for more distant shores with their new EP The 100 Gun Ship . They've hoist the mainbrace and lowered the spinnaker (no I don't know what it means either but it sounds like the sort of things sailors might say) seeking fame and fortune far from their Oxford home. The band's gimmick is that everything, from the band name, [...]
You're cheating on me with depression I've seen her evil way, and I know her deception and ability to linger on and stultify one's mind Insidious is her occupation I never saw a craft so finely honed but her mystifying aptitude can quickly become tight and overwhelming Why won't you leave her tomorrow? I'll give her one last night to have her way for I miss you, and I love you and when you come back, I'll know just what to say If you won't go I'll have to kill her I'll leave her [...]
Coal Hearted Woman Voice of The Future On first listen, Listing Ship's new album A Hull Full of Oil and Bone seems just like any other Americana-influenced folk collective: fiddle, guitar, jingle-jangle rollicking choruses. However, after a second or third trip through the album, it becomes apparent that what sets Listing Ship apart from related acts is something that the group lacks rather than something that they bring to the plate. Folk as a musical genre is often defined by the feelings it creates and shares with the listener. Such [...]
So, it's been a while. How are you? I've been busy, at my new digs and otherwise. But I should be back into the groove around these parts again for the forseeable future.

I've been listening to this album for ages, trying to decide if and how much I actually like it, and it's still hard. It's almost like a nice, safe version of lots of things I've been listening to for a good while now, and that safety should make it seem a little anodyne, but it doesn't. My inner indie-snob feels I should dismiss this for being a bit too lovely and warm and nice, and despite the fact that I find some of it less than gripping and the sea shanty of the title track just a little hackneyed, [...]

That title seems strange to read now but loving Leather Hyman was a common feeling ten years ago in Los Angeles. We saw this band for the first time at Al's Bar just because of their name. We thought we were in for a night of diabolic S&M punk but instead were treated to some delightful chamber rock. Years go by and we hear that Leather Hyman (which is just the clever combination of names
The 2006 CMJ Music Marathon begins tonight in what we like to call the annual ass kicking of New York with a barrage of Los Angeles bands coming through town and taking names. Here's a quick night by night highlight of what is to come... How appropriate the fest begins on Halloween since there are lineups so good on this night it's scary. Heavens, the newish project from Alkaline Trio's Matt
Jim Noir / Tower Of Love ( Barsuk ) Jim Noir may hail from Manchester, England but there's some serious Athens, Georgia informing his latest record Tower Of Love , though considering most of the Elephant 6 drew from the great British psychedelic bands of the 60s and 70s, the turnabout is fair play. Noir cops mainly from the dreamy, pastoral end of the pool though, crafting an exceedingly laid back and mellow record, which like many UK debuts is actually a [...]
